August 7thSo, Drama Queen’s birthday is Monday. I know this may come as a shock to many of you, but she is very spoiled. Ok, maybe not so shocking.
Bossman and Drama Queen are going out this weekend for a very nice dinner and then to expensive seats at a musical. A very nice, expensive evening out. Drama Queen has made it known to everyone that would listen that this evening does not count one bit towards her birthday, and that she expects big things on her birthday.
The kicker is that those closest to her laugh about this behavior and indulge her. To be honest, this kind of mentality really pisses me off. The depths of materialism and worldliness from a so-called Christian is shocking. There are so many people suffering and unable to provide food or basic needs for their families.
I have never lived the kind of extravagant life Drama Queen lives, but I have always had more than enough. I have been so blessed. Ryan and I really don’t even feel the need to buy each other presents for birthdays/holidays. We would much rather give to those around us. Please pray that I can bite my tongue to keep the peace the short time I have left working here. I’m left feeling really disturbed right now.
Any thoughts on the situation? I’m curious about your perspectives.

the only perspective I have to offer is that I think you’re the better person for being able to hold/bite your tongue in situations such as this. oh, and I also think it’s a good thing you’re getting outta there and away from that whole mess. plus, I’d surmise that the Jr is going to be (if he’s not already) learning some pretty bad habits/characteristics from Mommy, and who knows what/where that’ll lead to on the ol’ path of childhood/adolescent development? oh yeah, and I also think it’s ironic that these two people (BM and DQ) are actually the young-adult leaders/ministers at their church. I mean, who’d’ve ever thunk? (and you’re all “I know, huh? like, really.”)
you know what I think you should do? I think you should go out in a blaze of glory. that’s right, burn the freaking HOUSE down on your way out. and here’s how to do it: the morning of your last day working for them, stop by a donut shop on the way to their place and get three-dozen donuts. make sure at least two of each dozen are blueberry, and before you take them into the house, REMOVE all the blueberry donuts (put ‘em in a container or eat them on the way – whatever you feel like doing), and make sure there are crumbs from them on your face/mouth/hands/shirt/pants/shoes/whatever. make it VERY obvious that there WERE a good five or six blueberry donuts in the bunch when you walked out of the donut shop, but doggonnit, they were just so TEMPTING…and what a pity, they’re all gone now. act all mock-disappointed in yourself, and even throw out a statement like “aw, shucks – I guess I shoulda double-clutched on that one, but whadaya know, I just didn’t THINK about it. ahhhh well.” if that doesn’t cause DQ to go into a conniption fit, I don’t know what will.
hehehe. >-)
